This class is designed for technicians and engineers who need to know the basic theory of troubleshooting Yaskawa variable speed Drives (A1000, P1000). This class focuses on A1000, however most of the troubleshooting techniques and procedures apply to P1000, V1000, and Z1000 (non-bypass). The student will learn to troubleshoot the VFD by first learning to read the elementary diagram. Then learning what the fault code is indicating as the problem. And finally, the student will learn the applicable procedures using test equipment to identify the bad components in the variable speed drive.

Class topics include but are not limited to:

Condensed Installation and Start-up Workshop

Keypad Navigation

Power Wiring to the Drive

Control Wiring to the Drive

Complete Wiring Diagrams

Elementary Diagram Walkthrough

Component Naming

Component Functions

Checks without Power

Checks with Power
